Wonder how to tell knackwurst from bratwurst?

The Cook's Bible of Ingredients - a visual encyclopaedia dealing with everything from seafood to spices, vegetables to verjus, grains to galangal - holds all the answers.

Over 1,000 foods have been photographed for the book with each ingredient's characteristics, origins and uses explained.

A lovely reference book that means you'll never need to point vacuously at the fish counter again!
